GOLDEN GHOUL AWARDS for Achievements in Horror during 2012

           2012 was not apocalyptic, but it was certainly grim: it brought yet another slim, forgettable year in terms of horror cinema. Horror films, especially American, are getting dumber and dumber, and those few which try to be different are fundamentally misguided, limited by their authors' misunderstanding of the genre. 
          Anyway, below you'll find some titles which had at least something going for them. There are also some good books listed (at least in that department we had some truly excellent stuff)!
